ABOUT ERICH.

full name: erich malli tailor.

nickname: er (pronounced like the word air).

height: 5′10.

hometown: portland, oregon.

occupation: english teacher.

birthday: march 10th.

zodiac: pisces.

BACKGROUND.

early childhood.

erich’s therapist said once that sometimes people imagine things so often that they cannot tell if it is a real memory or not. unfortunately, that’s all erich has of his birth parents. fake memories of happier times.

what erich does know is that his mother was a teenager. she wanted to raise him on her own but simply couldn’t. now, as an adult, he doesn’t blame her or hold any resentment. 

growing up in the foster care system was all erich knew. switching from family to family created many longterm issues for him. as a kid, he had zero hope that he would ever be fully adopted. he had hopped in and out of so many different homes that he wouldn’t even unpack. 

erich didn’t have many friends. he liked it that way. he found saying goodbye to friends was harder than making them. so he was alone for the most part. 

adoption day finally arrived at the age of ten. a nice, liberal, lesbian couple who lived in the middle of san diego. they were kind and wanted to open their home to a kid who they wanted to grow to love. lucky erich. 

after his adoption, erich’s longterm issues would begin to rise to the surface. he showed lots of behavioral issues, signs of abandonment issues, and clear commitment issues. his new parents were there for him through every step of therapy. 

teenagedom.

things seemed to be turning around for erich. therapy was really helping him work through his issues, he was beginning to make friends, and his grades were starting to boost. 

his parents really pushed for him to get into the arts. mainly for mental health reasons, but also because they both appreciated the arts and wanted their son too as well.

it wasn’t long until erich’s hobbies and passions only consisted of artistic activities. watercolor painting helped him convey the loneliness and anxiety he felt growing up. creative writing helped him expand his imagination and patience. music was just fun for him.

he submitted short stories and poems into contests in high school and eventually won a couple. it was then that he realized writing was what he wanted to do in his adult years. 

around this time, erich was beginning to grow popular with the ladies at his high school. he had hit a growth spurt, he was beginning to grow into a self of style, and was beginning to grow into a handsome young man! however, erich was not interested in any of them.

to put things simply, it was a different time back then. this was the year lizzie’s iconic “that’s so gay” commercial had aired. there were plenty of developments that still needed to be made for the lgbtq+ community to be where it stood today. so, with this logic, why would erich want to come out as bisexual? he didn’t even know bisexual was a term.

so, erich would date girls publicly and cheat on them with guys behind their backs. things were going as smoothly as possible until one of the guys were outed. they then felt the need to out erich too. 

it was a dark time for erich. he was hated by most females, the males he had been seeing wanted nothing to do with him because of the amount of bullying he had started receiving, and all of his friends turned their backs on him. when things got really tough for him, his moms turned him to the typewriter and encouraged him to write.

erich and his moms ended up moving back to portland his junior year. a smart move and one that was definitely needed for him to grow. 

surprisingly, the culture was completely different in portland. he was able to become his true self in portland. he was surrounded by incredible friends and had an incredible support system.

erich came out as bisexual and finished a novel his senior year.

young adult life up to now.

erich never tried published his novel. he doesn’t think he ever will. it’s incredibly personal and he thinks it needs a ton of work. he’ll probably let you read the first chapter if you ask him though.

erich took a gap year to travel before attending college in oregon. he and his boyfriend from senior year roadtripped across the united states. unfortunately, the two broke up halfway back to oregon.

sadly, erich’s mother died of a car accident during his senior year of college. the two were extremely close and so it hit erich really hard. 

in college, you party. it happens. however, after erich’s mom’s death, the partying picked up for him, and that wasn’t all. erich’s drinking habits started growing to new heights. not only that, but erich had decided to do a couple party drugs in the process.

slowly but surely, erich’s grades began to drop and soon enough he was placed on academic probation. after that, he did the bare minimum to get his degree and that’s what he continued to do.

while erich desperately wants to be a well-known author, he has a feeling he never will be. so, he became an english teacher instead.

extras.

some of erich’s favorite places are when harry met jerry, cloak and stagger, and sunshine diner. he’s probably fucked up on something or working on another never-to-be-released novel. 

yes, erich teaches your high school aged children. sometimes, he shows up to class hungover. he is also an incredibly laid back teacher. there are also rumors going around the school saying erich sleeps with parents sometimes. despite all of this, he creates one of the safest spaces for his students and truly cares about them. 

erich is the sponsor for the high school GSA club.

erich has a puppy despite how much he hates dogs.

if i think of anything else, i’ll update!

BASIC

NAME: Nicholas Albright

GENDER/PRONOUNS: Cis male he/him

PLACE OF BIRTH: London, England

AGE: Thirty-four

OCCUPATION: Playwright

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

BACKGROUND

TW: death, drugs, alcohol

Nick was born in London where he lived until he was fourteen. His father was an aspiring British actor and his mother an American journalist.

At fourteen, his mother passed away. His father could never recover from her death and his life was in a downward spiral as he battled depression and addiction.

Eventually, his father realized he couldn't take care of his son anymore and called his wife's relatives. His uncle and aunt took him with them to Rhode Island where he lived for the next four years,

Nick was miserable and he hated his new lifestyle. It was so different from the simple life he had in England and now he had to live with this family he barely even know. They came from old money and Nick thought of them as snobs but in reality, they were really nice and loved him dearly.

He truly was a horrible teenager. He would leave in the middle of the night and disappear for two-three days before coming back. He was rude to his aunt and uncle, and his grades were shit.

They tried to send him off to college but he dropped out and moved to England when he turned nineteen. There, he followed his father's footsteps and started drinking and doing drugs.

When he was twenty-two, his father passed away and that was a wake-up call. He returned to America and apologized to his aunt and uncle.

He went back to college, got his English degree, and then moved to New York. He struggled to find a decent job for the first years, and his aspirations to become a writer or a playwright seemed so far away.

Long story short, he met this woman and he fell in love very fast but she didn't. However, she did ask him to marry her. She wasn't an American citizen and her visa was about to expire. She was in a relationship with a powerful married man who paid for her comfortable life. Because Nick was so smitten he accepted.

They married two weeks later, and lived in the same building but they were not a couple. However, they did become friends (even if Nick was in love with her). He knew everything about her and she knew everything about him (ya know in case an immigration officer came by surprise).

Anyway, Nick wrote a play based on this situation and it turned out to be a huge hit. Foolishly, he believed that would be enough to make his "wife" want to be with him but instead 18 months after the wedding she filed for the divorce. He hasn't seen her since.

He went on to write two more plays and two years ago he moved to Springhill.

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 FULL NAME: Freya Louise Woods. NICKNAME(S): Rey (her mother in particular would refer to her as her little ‘Rey’ of sunshine). BIRTHDAY: 28 September, 1992. PLACE OF BIRTH: Norwich, England.  HEIGHT: 5'7".  WEIGHT: 55 kg. OCCUPATION: Pastry Chef. ZODIAC SIGN: Libra.   MBTI: ENFJ (The Protagonist)

hello i’m 7, i’m super excited to be here!!! this is my big baby tex. i’d love to plot with each and every one of you so please like this or reply n i’ll hit you up!!! 

full name: tex william shepherd

nicknames: tex, texy, t-rex ( mostly his younger sisters calls him that but can still work.)

birthday: august 21st 

star sign: leo

sexuality: bisexual but he doesn’t really know that yet 

tex’s dad left him and his family when he was two. he ended up having to look after his two younger sisters and help his mother around the house. life was still pretty good for tex, his mother was very caring and he didn’t have too much of a troubled early childhood. 

his mum ended up re-marrying to this horrible guy who abused her and occasionally abused him. they eventually moved to manchester when he was 12 because his step dad had to due to work.

luckily when he was sixteen, his step dad left his mum and resulting in not suffering from abuse anymore. it still obviously affected him heaps. he has a very short temper, although he is NEVER violent, and also he has daddy issues.

due to the abuse he keeps his feelings to himself but he’s very good at acting fine on the outside. he also ended up forming a cocaine addiction around 16 and also got addicted to smoking too. 

he decided to leave manchester and move to the states when he was 18 as he got accepted into a music programme in new york. as much as he finally felt he was getting somewhere, being in such a big city only made his cocaine addiction worse and he decided to move to springhill five years ago. 

he is a very lovely, social and gentle boy who is very confident but also has horrible defensive mechanisms and can be incredibly short tempered sometimes. he absolutely loves music and is way too scared to show his songs to other people but he still wants to do something with it. ,

he loves to party and is definitely more an extrovert than introvert. i’d say he’s also a typical leo sign. he’s a massive goofball overall n rarely shows his own true emotions! 

he’s v creative, likes fashion, music and art! 

basically to try n sum it up he seems like a bad boy on the outside but actually a giant soft teddy bear. 

tw: drugs, emotional abuse, lgbtq issues, homophobia

about zara

As much as Zara likes to put on a brave face, inside, she’s hurting. Her mom is a junkie and left her and her dad when she was 8, and her dad hasn’t been the same since. He’s super controlling and can be emotionally abusive towards her.

Zara has a pretty logical mind, despite her emotions having such a tight grip on her, and she likes to know how things will end before she puts her all into it. She’s scared of the unknown. After her mom left, her dad sorta gave up on all the childhood memories and duties, other than being strict with her and forcing her to only focus on school. The only extracurriculars he allowed her to do were student government and debate club. And funnily enough, she ended up really loving them in the end, which is why she is studying Business Management in college - at Springhill’s community college. 

Due to her missing out on the childhood aspects of her past, Zara taught herself how to ride a bike. She learned to forge her father’s name for detention slips and tardy notes. She accepted to not expect her father to show up to any of her basketball games. Zara had learned, at a young age, to not get her hopes up because that only led to disappointment. The only person she could truly trust was herself.

When she was 15 years old, Zara had first learned the word “non-binary” and took comfort in the idea of not having to choose between identifying herself as solely male or female. Zara uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, and she appreciates when her friends ask her which pronouns she’d like to use that day. Lately and in general, she tends to use she/her, as she’s comfortable with presenting her feminine side in that way and masculine & non-binary sides via the clothes she wears. As for her sexuality, she’s always known, subconsciously, that she has drifted more towards liking girls than boys, but she’s open to all kinds of love, as well.

As far as her working life goes, she likes to be self-sufficient and does odd jobs around town (she’s taught herself a lot of tricks n hobbies n stuff in general lol bc she’d often have to spend a lot of time at home, following her dad’s orders). She’s good with cars (she’s hoping to buy and refurbish an RV so she can travel more - inspo), tutoring, babysitting (she prefers ages 5 and up), pet sitting, cleaning/organizing (when it’s not her own room lol), some technological stuff, etc etc. And she’s still learning more so she can work more!

TW: drugs!!!! (Xanax, Adderall, brief mention of heroin, marijuana)

Zara, unfortunately, has always second-guessed herself. Being a product of a dead-beat mother and insanely strict father may have something to do with that. She had always toyed with the idea of trying drugs, as she wanted to feel closer to her mother and figure out why she chose them over her family. Zara’s first experimentation with any kind of drug was Xanx, which she bought from the weird drug dealer in her freshman orientation class in college. Her second drug of choice was Adderall, to help her get through her first finals week. Things kept escalating from there. Her cut-off point, however, was heroin. She promised herself that she’d never shoot up; she liked being high and dulling her feelings...but she didn’t want to die, persay, and heroin seemed like a death sentence to her. Also, the few times that she’s smoked pot, she’s gotten paranoid, so she tends to stay away from that as well.

wanted connections

i think imma make a separate page on her blog specifically for wc’s - sooooo stay tuned!!

ooc / final notes

omg if you’ve read this far, THANK U SM!!! we’re basically friends bc ur the real MVP :’) pls pls plsssss message me if you’d like to plot w my bb!! 

fun fact: zara is the love child of MJ (spiderman), Rue (euphoria), and myself (esp LGBTQIA+ related, as I’m figuring that out, too, like her!!) if you ever would like to talk to someone (a new friend :D aka me lol) about LGBTQIA+ stuff, mental health stuff & staying positive during these #rough times, or gush about our love of zendaya, sabrina carpenter, harry potter series, etc etc -- then pls message me!!! we don’t have to talk solely about the rp/our charries (although i’d be 100000% okay w that uwu) bc i LOVE making new friends :D and some of my bffs are writing buddies i’ve met online! yayyayayyy

okayyyy rambling done !! ttyl hopefully :D

UPDATE 7/13/20 

ABOUT

Nathaniel was originally born in Queens, NY. His parents divorced when he was three, causing him and his mother to move out of Queens and to Springhill, NJ. Because of the move, Nate wasn’t able to see his father as much, but something was better than nothing. His father hadn’t made much effort to see him anyway.

He was energetic as a kid. Running around the house, getting one too many bruises from bumping his head or arms along different pieces of furniture....every kid’s dream, no? In school, he was put into different sports to try and tire him out before he got home. His mother was a lawyer, and dealing with a rowdy child 24/7 was a handful and, while she did love him, there were some days she just needed peace and quiet. 

Sports as a child lead Nate to playing sports in high school. Football, soccer, basketball, you name it. You could consider him a popular kid, but maybe without the mean jock stereotypes. He had friends in many circles and, looking back on his high school years, Nathaniel could genuinely say he loved that time of his life.

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, however. Although it looked like he had his life together, he really didn’t. Nathaniel was struggling to figure out what he wanted to do in life. Should he go to college on an athletic scholarship? What college did he want to go to, did he even want to go...? His mother thought the idea of not going to college - not getting any sort of degree, rather - was unfathomable. 

As his senior year winded down, Nate decided to join the military - the Army to be specific. Two weeks after his graduation, he left to start his military career. He was hesitant at first, he wouldn’t lie. The military wasn’t for everyone...maybe it wasn’t even for him, but he didn’t turn back.

Nathaniel served in the military for eight years before deciding to walk away from it. He was 26 years old. Although he had his fair share of scrapes, bruises, and then some, Nate decided it was time to leave and pick a different path. When he got back home to Springhill, he became a police officer. He worked as an officer for the next three years before being promoted to detective, which he’s worked as ever since.

PERSONALITY

Nathaniel is a fairly outgoing guy. He can make friends with ease and can talk to just about anyone. He’s always there if someone needs support and/ or a shoulder to cry on. He prides himself on being their for his community, work aside. He loves a good laugh and a good night out every once in a while, but he also loves to stay in and watch tv just as much. On a rough day, Nate can be pretty finicky and quiet. Some days he can get in his head a little too much and starts overthinking. 

Because of everything he’s seen and been through during his time in the military and even on the police force, Nate attends group and private therapy sessions once a week. He tends to keep that aspect of his life to himself and his close friends.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

I would love some childhood friends/ high school friends/ BROMANCES yes please.

Ex-turned-close friend from highschool

Ex(es) from after highschool

Okay so first off, NEGLECT TW, DRUGS TW, NSFW TW, MILITARY TW

Quinns parents were happily married to each other and she had a happy life in her early years.

Her dad was in the army and died overseas when she was in grade school

her mom had a drug addiction and eventually spent all of her waitressing money on that instead of taking care of her daughter.

things go bad. Her grandarents eventually got involved and ended up gaining custody of Quinn

Quinn is the Face of the Daddy Issues Brand. In High School, the girl wasn’t shy when it came to boys

She became a bit of a party animal by Sophomore/Junior year

She would mess around with some boys here and there in school. She wasn’t sleeping around until senior year. 

she wasn’t like the school slut, she just was a serial dater lol

lowkey also by the time she hit college she was absolutely wild. She still sleeps around. Idk her sexual orientation quite yet but I now she tried a few things in college for sure. 

When she started thinking about college, she realized how limited she was with her grandparents income. 

She wants to be a dance teacher. SHE LOVES DANCE. 

But she’s also trying to be realistic on everything she wants

SO she had to pay to double major in college, but event with her grants, Financial Aid, and everything else she had going to pay for school, it wouldn’t be enough.

She had a job as a waitress, already some side gigs here and there with private tutor sessions, or teaching childrens dance classes at the community Center, but she was still coming short of paying her bills and getting through school

SO, she wasn’t really wanting to go down this path, but she got a job as a dancer in one of the local strip clubs.

Unless you were Quinns absolute BEST FRIEND or you go to the club, You don’t know about her job their. She doesn’t tell anybody.

She does hate it, she doesn’t like that this is what she’s done to get under her feet. But it pays REALLY WELL and there’s a small part of her that gets empowered by it. So until she can get a amazing job and can afford to live on her own and pay off her loans she’s at the club.

She’s literally v vixen. A spitfire. But she’s pretty nice for the most part.
